Architecture -
modularity and configurability to meet your
needs..
-
Easy ordering, configuration and maintenance through
modular design
-
If your requirements change, EPower controller can
easily be adapted to meet your needs
-
Minimum spares holding - many options configurable
through a common driver module e.g. firing mode, load,
phases, control etc.
-
Up to four power control modules
provide single and multi-phase control with seven
configuration options.
Software configurable options:
A single driver module can support
up to four power modules - and hence four independent
control loops. Power modules are available in current
ratings covering a range from 100A to 400A. The driver
module itself supports options boards to give you additional
flexibility in your solution:
-
Communications - Ethernet IP, RS485
Modbus RTU, Profibus, DeviceNet® and Modbus
TCP network protocols
-
Predictive Load Management
(PLM))
(patent pending) - A powerful feature to
effectively manage your power requirements
across multiple machines to save on your
energy costs.
-
Flexible I/O - The driver module
supports standard I/O and up to three
additional I/O boards with analog inputs,
analog outputs, digital I/O and relay
outputs.

Reduce your energy costs across your plant by
utilizing Predictive Load Management functionality
within the EPower controller.
-
Better distribution of energy across different loads in
your installation, by managing the priorityy
-
Load shedding
-
Prevent overshoot of the nominal power.
-
Predictive Load Management anticipates your energy usage
rather than reacting after you exceeded your tariff
peak.

Typical Power demand on process:
Energy where you need it
BUT NOT when you need it.
- Peak still
present
- Average
consumption much lower than the maximum power
|
Power demand revolution with PLM: Energy where you
need it AND WHEN you need it.
- Peak demand elimination
reduces your energy bill
- Dynamic change of lower
limitation reduces your energy bill
|
Using EPower controllers with Predictive Load Management
is a great value decision to make for your plant.
"Frequently
Asked Questions"
EPower is
designed for easy configuration and modification. The
front, integral display has a “QuickStart” facility
that leads the user through initial set up in a series of
simple steps. To further save engineering this QuickStart
code can be specified with your order and the instrument
shipped pre-configured.
|
More advanced
configuration can be achieved utilizing
iTools PC
configuration software
– which provides the significant assistance of
graphical wiring tools and downloadable function blocks to
minimize engineering time and cost.
Once you have
created your application you can easily save and
clone your work – either as a back-up or to download
to multiple instruments that need the same or
similar configuration – keeping your work safe and
save repeat engineering costs.
